People was unnecessarily discussing about Manish Pande's inclusion .
Manish Pande or Rahane cannot replace Yuvraj since Yuvraj is selected as an all rounder like Jadeja .
Those crucial 2-3 overs Yuvi bowls are very vital & gives extra bowling options to MSD .
Mark my words , even Rahane / Pandya will sit out of playing 11 but not Yuvraj .
And moreover , if anyone is thinking that Yuvraj / Raina has passed their peak or are struggling or weak against short pitched are biggest fools .
Now pitch them short even with 150 kmph & see the ball landing is stands for six as Shaun Tait saw in AUS .
See , no batsman can perform in 100 percent innings he plays but still this team is very good , only thing is that one leg spinner should have been there in the team .

Yuvaraj especially on Indian wickets has bowled better than many of the Indian spinners.As Yuvaraj is a certainty due to his all round abilities, Manish Pandey could not have got selected into the eleven. Rahane is perhaps selected because he can be a backup for the openers in case one gets injured. The team misses a leg spinner.

What happened yesterday? Either you were sleeping or was under influence of booz?
Manish Pandey has been excluded becoz he plays for karnataka. Simple. Had he been playing for Mumbai, He would have been regular in the Indian team from last 6-7 years.

If India Replicate the same Wickets they gave to South Africa in The Test Series - We don't even need the So called "Indian Fast Bowlers" (Read as Medium pacers).
We can Just pick 6 or 7 Spinners and win World T20 without breaking a lot of sweat.
Spinners - Ravichandran A55win, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Axar Patel and Amit Mishra can bowl out most of the teams in less than 10 overs.
Indians can also break another New World Record, as they play only for Personal Statistics and Win another ICC World Tournament on Home soil with Doctored wickets that will help only Selfish Indian team and no other team.

What is your problem with that? Every home country is entitled for that. You will get seaming wickets in England and bouncy wickets in Australia. They have never prepared wickets to help Indian Subcontinent teams.

The Problem is Both England & Australia have Beaten India inside India in a Test series several times.
Whereas Indian team has Never Learnt the Art of Playing Quicks on Bouncing & Swinging conditions. We have Never Won an Away Test Series in Australia from a very long long time.
pandey is an absolute hard hitter and excellent player and he has proved it many times in ipl, this is an example that still bcci is under remote control. suckers..........manish pandey would have never dropped he is the best batsman in indian team and an excellent 20-20 player
